Hey Collective,
I want to share something more personal. My husband lost his mom back in ’99 when he was just 21. Our daughter never got the chance to meet her grandma, and I wanted to give him, his brother, and our family a way to see that love captured again.
So I revised the Polaroid-style prompt trend.
I thought you might like to try it too. Whether it’s to honor someone you’ve lost, or a version of your now self hugging you as a child.
Such a nostalgic and heartfelt image.
Prompt
A warm portrait of a man hugging his mother. The man’s right arm (closest to the camera) is wrapped naturally over her arm, resting gently across her shoulder/chest in the foreground. His arm should clearly overlap her arm, showing he is embracing her protectively. The mother’s arm is beneath his, slightly tucked, with her hand visible near his waist. Both are smiling warmly toward the camera.
